Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the main themes that have characterized the history of philosophy, through the critical analysis of philosophical texts by one or more authors. At the end of the course the student will be able to: 1) understand the philosophical theories explained and contextualize them historically; 2) use a correct and appropriate philosophical lexicon; and 3) critically analyze the texts explained; 4) relate the results of the study with their personal experience, with their curriculum of studies and with current events.

Prerequisites and basic notions

No prerequisites

Program

The program will focus on two texts by Romano Guardini (1885-1968), starting from which it will be possible to analyze the philosophical issues related to the concepts of person and nature and their relationship. Through the reflections proposed by Guardini, we will also analyze Pascal's philosophy and some Dostojevsky's novels.
The following material will be used for the course: R. Guardini, Dostojevskij. The religious world, Brescia, Morcelliana, 2000 (or other edition).
R. Guardini, Pascal, Brescia, Morcelliana, 2018 (or other edition).
During the course, the teacher will be responsible for making any supplementary material available to the students.

Bibliography

Visualizza la bibliografia con Leganto, strumento che il Sistema Bibliotecario mette a disposizione per recuperare i testi in programma d'esame in modo semplice e innovativo.

Didactic methods

The lessons will be frontal, during which the teacher will explain the themes proposed in the course, highlighting their fundamental meaning and solving any complexities of the chosen philosophical text. It will be the responsibility of the teacher, during the lessons, to explain the particularity of the lexicon adopted by the philosophers treated, in order to allow students an easier assimilation of the topics explained.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will consist of an oral interview, during which it will be possible to bring, for those who wish, the texts of Romano Guardini in German.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

During the exam, the following criteria will be taken into account:
- the level of study and understanding of the program carried out;
- the ability to link the proposed topics together;
- the ability to critically analyze the issues dealt with;
